Wonder if we could get the web designer to put a "p*ss off link next to the like link

Well I do think so. There are two ways in which the emoticon could have been taken: 1) as a sign of insult and mock with a smile being beside a rude comment. or 2) a sarcastic comment which we all know is just a joke.An emoticon makes this a reasonable response, I don't think so.
Hennbell, you are now causing a problem when there wasnt one. Why are you doing this?
I got a little bit confused with his post. He stated that an emoticon makes the post reasonable and yet he cotradicted himself by saying that he didnt agree with it. It was a little bit odd.He was actually backing you up, suggesting we treat any person at the other end of the internet with respect.
Personally I think respect is earned though, so feel free to disrespect me.
Or just not post trivial things where there is even a glimpse that I did something wrong and wait until I am involved in a more serious incident (touch wood) where I know I couldnt have improved any more.I personally think you should ditch the camera, if only for a while. Perhaps post back on your experience of being camera free.

If he had not put the smile then I would have commented along the lines of "Go sod off yourself".

I think that first impressions are the things that I normally get wrong. As a part of my personality, I take great delight in monitoring peoples behaviour and acting upon it. It is a way for me to decide who is worth befriending and who is to be avoided. It has worked for me so far in face-to-face situations. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to use this technique online when I only have peoples comments to go by. Therefore, when someone makes a comment which I deem to be nasty, it might have been used as a joke, and vice versa.It is impossible to determine sarcasm or "if a person is joking" in typed material. So the way a message is received is purely dependent on the reader. What I might interpret as a joke another person may see as a slight..True
If I was to let go with a racial slur would a simple emoticon at the end convey that I was just "havin a laugh", I don't think so.True
As for the notion that respect is to be earned, I agree with that. When you initially meet a stranger you have the chance to give them the once over a based upon circumstances determine the inappropriate level of respect they deserve, that is very hard to assess online. True
By the looks of my other posts here, yes.Really, it's that bad on here in commuting?
Chillax peoples, tis the internetz...:troll:
I am starting to get tired of people on here being obnoxious and insulting towards me. I come on here to have a friendly chat about things which I and other people have an interest in. I do not intend to be having disputes with people critisizing my cycling style and how I have acted in situations.
I encourage polite critisizm and feedback from incidents as I often take these pointers on board as I want to improve my riding style, but there is a difference between feedback and rudeness. It is ruining my thoughts of CycleChat and ruining other peoples threads.
When I first came across this website, I was intrigued and took great delight in reading and commenting on other peoples posts. I learnt new things and skills which have helped me overcome problems which I have encountered. But when I started posting videos and asking for people views on the situation, I was bombarded with quiries and insults regards 'what I did wrong' and that 'I caused a problem'. I dont mind people pointing out my errors, but it gets obnoxious when people say that 'I keep causing problems' and 'I am confrontational'.
I would like to enjoy thiis site for what it is mean for 'CycleChat' or chatting about topics relating to cycling. I dont want to come on here and feel as if I am being bullied by people who dont know me or who I am and are just making presumptions based on what I say or do. It is starting to get old.
